Chris, even after I even asked you who you ordered yours from!!!  I couldn't
find the note you sent me, I must have miss filed it...

However, we do have another possible source, thanks to Barry Klein's update
to the Electronic Music Circuits book.  This is:

Vishay (Dale Electronics, Inc.)
in Columbus, NE

In the book these are stated in the book as being 3500ppm+-350ppm and
available in 1K and 2K varieties.  I felt that what I wanted would come
quite short of a minimum order, but if we could raise an order for maybe 50
of them, I'd be willing to call them and see if they are still available.
